The T.E.A.R.S Final Show is a culmination of the Tracey Emin Artist Residency. This innovative, studio-based art school program allows emerging artists to develop their practice in an immersive, supportive environment. Held at TKE Studios, this residency is designed to foster artistic exploration and growth, guided by the mentorship of Tracey Emin, Elissa Cray, and a host of distinguished guest artists. The program mirrors the rigour of a Masters-level course, though it does not confer a formal qualification.

The final show features the diverse works of eight talented artists: Anna Pakosz, Darcy Brenna, Jorge K Cruz, Lola Stong-Brett, Grace Alexandria, Bianca Raffaella, Helen Teede, and Emmie Nume. These artists, selected from applicants worldwide, have spent 16 months honing their skills and developing their unique voices, influenced by interactions with key figures in the art world including gallery directors, curators, and art historians.

This exhibition is the culmination of their residency.
